Herrie Records Inc. – a label founded by a Dutch grinder with love for the scene and other related rock/metal genres (doom, death and even stoner). He releases splits around the clock with his own grindgang ‘Grindbashers’ and has some talents in his roster. Massive Assault is one of them and since the release of 2 demo’s, 1 EP and a full-length, they are taking the world (Benelux to be more precise) by storm.

Swedish sounding old school deathmetal with guttural grunts, a lot of thrashy rhythms, hooks and leads. Ok, that’s been done before, but the Dutchies display some serious catchy guitar playing. The five tracks on this mcd pass by in a jiffy and, as a listener, you just keep pressing that repeat-button. Crunchy guitars alternate with up-tempo drumming and a barking singer who keeps the tempo going. Opener ‘Ignore’ opens furiously and rocks out with your cock out! But that is just the beginning, 20 minutes of violent death/thrash pass by with razor-sharp precision songwriting.

With four songs and a live version of ‘Man-Kind!?’ they show us that they can handle live situations as well as they can bring an aggressive atmosphere on cd! Definitely worth checking out by fans of ENTOMBED or DISMEMBER or whoever has love for ‘90s death/thrash from Sweden.
